Enhancing and Promoting the Leadership Role of Women in the Optical Industry
OWA - We See You
Show Your Support
All contributions—regardless of monetary amount or sponsorship level—benefit women in the optical industry. Four tiers are available for companies interested in OWA sponsorship. Industry members can also take pride in becoming an individual contributor to the OWA. As one OWA contributor states, "It truly makes me feel good knowing that I am doing a small part to support all of the incredible women of our industry, so many who have faced past adversity in a male-dominated business and who are now leaders in their own right. Knowing I am personally supporting these women is a true benefit unto itself."
